✨ you only get one chance...

[liltuna]

THE FIRST IMPRESSION MEME   You only get once chance to put your best foot forward. Screw that up, and you'll be forever seared in someone's mind as the person who had spinach in their teeth, or worse! ✨HOW TO PLAY 1. Drop a top-level! 2. If you have previous CR with someone, you'll have to let them know what your first-impression of them was. If this is your first time meeting, you'll be compelled to share what kind of vibe they give off. It's okay to be honest! Are they gross? Do they seem approachable? Do you find them incredibly hot?  3. Find out if your first impression was correct! Maybe that strange loner actually has a heart of gold? You'll never know unless you talk to them!

…How?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Because I'm still here.
If those things were all that you did do you think I would still talk to you?

[suspectratio]

Dawn, you don’t count.

You’re like the nicest person in the world. You’d be nice to anyone.

You’re a dove.

[dawn_is_breaking]

That's sweet of you to say but it's not true, I can be cruel just like anyone else.

[suspectratio]

You?

Pshh.

No way.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I don't make a habit of it but I've done hurtful things to people. I once showed up to a man's house with the sole purpose of beating the shit out of him for hurting kids.

[suspectratio]

Did you do it?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Yes.
I also broke my father's arm after he wouldn't stop hurting me, my sister and mother.

[suspectratio]

Your dad?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Yes.
And I don't regret it. It made him stop hitting my mother and sister for a while.

[suspectratio]

Fuck, man. You can't hurt family.

Even if they fucking suck, you have to love them. That's the rule.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I disagree.
He didn't act like family, he acted like a fucking monster.

Do you agree with what he did to us? That it was right?

[suspectratio]

What? No.
Obviously, that's fucked up.

...

But when they're your dad, you're just supposed to ignore the fucked up parts and love them anyway. That's what family is.

[dawn_is_breaking]

So I'm supposed to ignore him giving my sister a broken nose? Or love him for bruising my mother's ribs?
Fuck that.

He isn't my family. He's a piece of shit.

[suspectratio]

...

Is he dead now?

[dawn_is_breaking]

No.

[suspectratio]

Want me to change that?

[dawn_is_breaking]

That's sweet of you to offer but no.

[suspectratio]

It's cool if I do it.

He's not my dad.

And it sounds like this is a peace thing. So, like, I sorta have to.

[dawn_is_breaking]

It's fine Chris, my mother passed away a few years ago and me and my sister have no contact with him so he's nothing now.

[suspectratio]

Yeah, I guess?

But if I ever cross paths on the street with this dude, I'm totally knocking his head off.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[She leans in and kisses his cheek.]

If that ever happens I'll let you punch him after I'm done.
